MOTORISTS are being urged to be on their guard after a spate of thefts from cars.

Police in Colwyn Bay and Abergele say they have received several reports in recent weeks of vehicles have been broken into and satellite navigation systems stolen.

Neighbourhood policing sergeant Andy Kirkham said: “Sadly we continue to receive reports of theft from vehicles across the Colwyn Bay and Abergele areas.

“We need motorists’ help in stopping this opportunistic crime by removing all valuables from inside vehicles. “Thieves will not break in to simply look round a vehicle on the off chance, but they will do so when items are left in full view.

“One such desirable item is the sat nav, which most people possess these days.”

Anyone with information about the thefts should call police on 0845 607 1002.
